Quick ride by bicycle from Toulouse to Colomiers

Ready for a spin out of Toulouse? This short cycling route takes you west from the lively pink-bricked center of Toulouse, France’s aerospace capital, and glides straight into the quieter suburb of Colomiers—another aerospace hub and the home to Airbus HQ.

The ride is just over 14 km, so it’s perfect for an easy half-day adventure or daily commuting. You’ll mostly be rolling on paved surfaces, with about 70% classic asphalt and a few stretches of concrete and even some gravel to mix things up. There’s a gentle ascent (nothing too demanding) and some nice cycleways for a good chunk of the journey, especially getting out of Toulouse.

Along the way, you’ll pass through a laid-back mix of urban bike paths, quiet residential streets, and green patches before arriving in Colomiers, known for its parks and proximity to the large Airbus assembly lines. Whether you’re checking out aviation sites or just soaking in Occitanie suburb vibes, this route is a smooth, scenic escape from the city bustle.
